The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, in collaboration with the Kaduna State Board of Internal Revenue have begun clampdown on motorists using fake number plates and driver’s licence.
Speaking at the presentation of certificates to the proprietors of all Certified Driving Schools on the theme: “Rid Kaduna State of Fake Driver’s Licence and Number Plates,” the state Sector Commander of the FRSC, Olumide Michael Olagunju, warned motorists to desist from obtaining fake driver’s licence and number plates. He said violators would be jailed in line with the provisions of National Road Traffic Regulation, 2004.
Olagunju described driving school proprietors as strategic stakeholders in ensuring quality drivers and safety management.
The sector commander urged the proprietors to justify their certificates by ensuring that their students were well-trained and must maintain high integrity so as not to abuse the policy on Driving School Standardisation Programme, DSSP.
He said: “The general public is also enjoined to patronise only the certified driving schools for drivers training in compliance with the provision of the National Traffic Regulations which stipulate that proprietors of certified driving schools must present pupil drivers to the Vehicle Inspection Officers, VIO, for test before a licence is issued.”
